First Week of School

 It's Friday and we've successfully completed the first week of school. Things are off to a good start!

Annaliese is in 7th grade. Her homeroom teacher is Mrs. VanderPol, she's most excited about changing classes, she's not quite sure if she should call Auntie Kim 'Auntie Kim' or 'Mrs. Veltkamp' and her elective this semester is Computer Applications. She continues to play saxophone and is gets one class (Language Arts) in Spanish.

Haleigh is in 5th grade, which means this is her first year in middle school and she is very excited about it! She has Mrs. Wolffis for her homeroom teacher and Senorita Hernandez for the Spanish portion of her day. Haleigh has Language Arts, Bible, and Math in Spanish. She also gets to be in band and is playing the trumpet this year! 

Practicing!

Lydia is in second grade with Senor Berroteran. She is also very excited about this school year! She's come home every day talking about the fun things they've done, and seems to enjoy math the most. (At least, that's what she talks about the most!)

This is a picture in the classroom window! Lydia is in the third row:)

They ride the bus to and from school; it picks them up about 1/4 mile from our house. It's a nice little walk every morning and there bus driver is wonderful.

Being silly while we wait for the bus!

We wrapped up the week with the annual Spanish Immersion Back-to-School Ice Cream Social. This is always a fun way to reconnect with other parents and celebrate this program!
